Big Brother, Are You Watching?

Last week Jigga man dropped his newest single from BP3, We Run This Town, featuring Rihanna and Kanye. Now the track has grown on me, but talking with some people, 1 thing is apparent. Little Brother stole the show. If you remember on Big Brother (the track), Ye said, "On the diamonds remix I thought I spazzed, then big brother came through and whopped my ass". It was true, Jay got him on that track. But on this one, looks like payback is a mofo. As Jay can only boast "This is roc nation/pledge yo alle-giance/get yo fatigues on/all black everything/black cards, black cars/all black everything", while Ye hits back with "she got an ass that will swallow up a g-string/ and on top....2 bee stings/and im beasting/off the riesling/am my niggas just made it out the precint.../i'm just tryin to change the color on your moodring"

Now argue all you want, but Ye spazzed. Now my question is, when will Jay give Ye the keys to the Roc. Bleek was always the holder of the Roc's future, but when was the last time you heard from Bleek? When was the last time you seen Bleek? And with Rocafella all but gone, does Ye even need permission anymore from Big Brother?

Greatest Athlete

Whenever the discussion of greatest athlete comes up its always the same names: Muhammed Ali, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, etc. Lance Armstrong never seems to get brought up. Now I pretty much blame this on the lack of popularity of the sport of cycling in America (cycling is the second most popular sport in the world, behind soccer. yes folks basketball and american football arent the end all be all sports of the world). Now I insist that anyone that calls themselves a sports fan begin to consider Lance Armstrong as the greatest athlete ever. Lance won the Tour de France, one of the hardest 3 week sporting events in the world, for 7 years straight. And he did so after battling testicular cancer. Now as of Sunday, he placed 3rd in the Tour de France. Naturally you will say oh thats not good. But that is with a 4 YEAR HIATUS from the sport. Did Jordan even make it to the playoffs when he came back wearing the 4-5?

Now some will say oh Lance was on drugs. Lance is the most tested athlete in the world when it comes to in and out of competition for performance enhancing drugs. They would have caught him by now. And some will say oh well Lance just did it for himself. Nope. It's a proven fact when Lance is competitive the amount of attention and financial donations to cancer research goes up exponentially. So much that Lance is auctioning off just about every bike he rode during this years tour. Some of them which were custom painted just for specific days. Not only that but he has a shoe deal with NIKE that produced a Livestrong custom shoe line this year that will see the profits go to cancer research as well.

Now those that know me know I have been an active cyclist since I was about 13. It is not an easy sport at all. Of course people laugh because of the tight uniforms, or say it can't be that hard because everyone rides bikes. Well when you can start riding 100 miles a day, and then do it for 3 weeks straight, through anything mother nature throws at you, then throw in the Pyrenees Mountains and the Alps, and still survive...then maybe you can laugh at the sport. Until then I think we need to put Lance on the podium for greatest athlete.

I Must Be Losing My Mind

So I just woke up (yeah at close to 11am, don't judge me) and I had to write down this crazy dream I had. I forgot the beginning, but at the end I was on some sort of spaceship that was on a railroad track. Now the ship was trying to get away from some fighter jets. But for some reason Drake was a pilot of one the fighter jets and was trying to shoot down the ship. He fired at us, missed, and turned around to come back for a second run. Now for some reason our ship was supposed to be going to Canada (maybe thats why Drake was trying to stop us). As we approach Canada for some reason the ship stops, like its a regular train. Who hops on? Kanye. Now somehow I missed the fact that Soulja Boy was on the ship already and he just somehow appeared once Kanye was on the ship. After that ship decided to go backwards and got stuck. When it got stuck regular people started to come on the ship. The driver kept trying to kick them off but they wouldn't listen.

Thats when I woke up. Anyone know what this dream meant????

Straight from Degrassi

Affion Crocket decided it was time to go in on Drake and his infamous blackberry freestyle Oh Drake. Rappers won't go at you because of the fear of Wayne and Jay, but that doesn't stop comedians.

Everyone Hates Chris

So Chris issued an apology...featured below. My question is, why does he look like a hardened criminal now and 10 years older like he was in the penn...

Top 5...maybe not

So my boy Dylan surfaced out of nowhere to bless the D.O.A beat....maybe he should go back to whatever tree house he was hiding in and pick some ripe bananas.

I'll take a Number 4

At my old job, I would get off at about 5am and head right to McDonald's at least 3 times a week. A steak egg and cheese bagel, plus a sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin, with the hashbrown and OJ to finish it off. Now I quickly realized this was not healthy and I wasn't 21 anymore. Cant just burn that off so easily. So I went on a McDs hiatus and I did well. Went about 2 months without any. Now, I have relocated and of course, there is a McDonalds right around the corner from my apartment that is 24 hours. And naturally there are 2 within 2 blocks of my job. Somehow McDonalds and I have started an affair again and that led me to write The Top Ten Reasons Why McDonalds Is The Best Jumpoff In The World !!!. Please see the points below

PS-I thought they put crack on the fries, you know, sprinkle a bit on there. Apparently its sugar. Weird


10.) It doesn't care if you come along, or bring everyone over

9.) You can get a new toy if you need one to keep your interest

8.) They cook you breakfast no questions asked

7.) All sizes for your personal preference

6.) 2 for 1 apple pie = easiest 3some ever

5.) Each one has its own unique style

4.) They're everywhere. You can have a jumpoff in every state, city, and country in the world

3.) There are so many options for whatever mood your are in. Chicken, beef, fish. sauce, no sauce.

2.) It will never tell on you. McDonalds will never call BK and be like, hey, your mans with me tonight, not you

1.) No one can judge you. EVERYONE goes to McDonalds at like 2am in the morning at some point. And you know you feel bad after, but it just felt so good. pause

The One

We got the new video from Slaughterhouse up today. If you don't know about Slaughterhouse, right now its the biggest hip hop group out right. Group being an actual group, not just a crew, ie Rocafella, Young Money, etc. Slaughterhouse is comprised of Joe Buddens, Royece da 5'9", Crooked I, and Joell Ortiz. If you don't know those guys, just cut yourself a little bit. I like the video for because it blends rock well with hip hop. I also like the fact Joey keeps puttin his girl in his music videos. Not because shes quite attractive but because it means that all of their digital efforts don't put a strain on their relationship and its a sign that with all this technology, technology can be used positively in relationships, and not just to text your jumpoff at 2am in the morning.

MJ...The Savior

It's wednesday, so that means soundscan will come out today. Now MJ sold ridiculous numbers last week, and I am sure he will continue to top seller this week. Honestly, every record label will probably owe MJ for helping sales. Even if he isnt on every label. It's kind of hard not to go buy one cd and not pick up an extra. Or to go to iTunes and download one album and not just decide to get another. Personally, I think everyone will continue to celebrate MJ for quite sometime. While it will be bitter sweet to hear your favorite DJ spin Michael Jackson records when you go out, just think about all the joy and memories hearing those sets will bring back for you. As a DJ, I haven't played an MJ record since he passed. I've watched videos, listened to other DJ's tribute mixes, and watched every show most have. Yet, I know at my gig in a month, I will throw on some MJ and I can honestly say I might cry for the fact I am priviliged enough to channel the joy that Michael brings for people on the dance floor.

While I will not be doing a tribute mix for MJ, I did want to provide a link to one tribute I am impressed with from DJ Timbuk2 out of Chicago. Check him out.

Drake's Input On The Concept

Here's what Drake said...sort of makes sense, but they could have made the concept come through a little better

Drake Explains Concept Of Best I Ever Had Video W/ Complex
Yesterday, Drake leaked the video to Best I Ever Had, and while many people have expressed their interest in the song, others have displayed some distaste in the video. Drake sat with Complex to explain his logic and direction for the video.


"The concept of the video is, I’m a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team. Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don’t take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning."

Skipping Top 10 Today, For Good Reason

VIBE mag officially folded 2 days ago, reasons are still TBD, but you can guess why. Now I think we might officially be seeing the death of MTV. 50 Cent and Drake both dropped their new videos online last night. No leak, no random clips. The official premieres were online . So why do we need MTV again? We're already ready to throw BET down the drain, lets just kill 2 birds with one stone. No?

On a side note, neither video makes any sense to the song. Look for some bit of humor in Drakes at 4:25. Besides that, its a video most guys will watch on mute and most women will find offensive. Hip hop at its best.

iRobot meets Nike

came across this clip on another site. It probably won't be a real commercial but I thought it was dope either way
